Sir:-- In pursuance of instructions by the boaixl of 
directors of this society at its meeting, June ^nd, UM)5. I am 
pleased to submit herewith review of the inception, progress 
and accessions to this society. I have omitted tixed properties, 
financial ati'airs and numberless small items of the collections 
such as souvenirs, pamphlets not bearing- directly upon the 
history of Oklahoma, and sample copies of magazines from 
various states. Changes in the management of publications of 
the Territories are so frequent that errors as to management of 
some at this date are probable.

OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 



THE INITIATIVE. 

THE OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY had its 
inception uiiji the editors <'f the Territory :it their annual 
meeting at Kinotisher, May 27, 1898. The city was in rich 
deckint^s and ripe expecancy for the occasion and the opera 
hous" on KoWberts avenue was in elaborate dressing. The fore- 
noon session was ])resided over t)y »!. L. Admire, of the King- 
fisher Free Press, as president, and Mayor J. C. Kob})erts deh'v- 
ered an address of welcome in words of beauty and sentences 
of l)rief. yet replete with hearty sincerity. In turning the citv 
over 'o the editors. Mayor Kobberts said : 

••It gives me pleasure to greet you and i)id you welcome 
to Kingfisher — not l)ecaiise of the money we expect you to 
leave l)ehind you, nor alone because of the l)enefits we expect 
to reap from the many good things you will say about our city 
and her people afier you have returned to your homes; but. 
gentlemen, I gnieLyou. and l)id you a hearty welcome, for voui- 
own sakes and because of yourselves. We hear much of the 
wonderful growth of Oklaiioma Her praises are sung upon 
every land Her progress, morally, politically and tinancially 
is the astonishment of the whole world ; and when we ourselves 
stop long enough to behold it, we are simply amazed What 
has l)een done in four years has requited a quarter of a century 
in all other states and territories of the Union When we 
remember that only f>ur years ago. by the sunple tap of the 
liell or touch of the button, more than (iO.OOO people from 
every (|uarter of the globe were turned loose in a wilderness 
without law or |)recept to uuide thein. and that this condition 
of artairs histed for more than a ye-ir, we wonder at the l)ap])v 
condition of things today. But when wo rememl)er the admoni- 
tions, th(^ good councils, the entreaties, the solid shot of ie;ison-

able ar<>umt'nt, the calm peace be still, all tilled with kindred 
words of hope, coming day by day from the Oklahoma news- 
papers, seasoned and blessed with the words of hope and 
encouragement of the editors, then we sippreciate what you 
h.Mve done for Oklahoma. And to you, gentlemen, we ov\ e more 
than any other people, or class of people, for what we boast 
today. While our people are the most energetic, our tields the 
most fruitful, our editors are the brightest, the lu'avest and the 
best in all the world For all these reasons, and more, again, 
gentlemen, 1 bid 3'ou a most hearty welcome to Kingfisher.

ing members of the association were present :

which had preserved the neuspnpers of that state ; that hi^ 
hoped this meetinir w«»ul(i do soniethini»" to perj)etiiatH its lueni-

of preservation for the future hisiorian. The motion prevailed, 
and Mr. C'ampt)ell was chosen custodian. 

.At ni.L>ht a banquet was given at the Johnson ll( use with 
Vol S;iyre as hosi. Frank McMastcr was chosen toastmaster

all those present p.irticipated, including Governor A. J. Seay 
iuid Mayoi J. ( ". K d)(>erts. 

Thus the editorial association meetinL*^ at Kingfisher, May

Oklahoiua Historical Society as a TcM'ritorial Instituiion, out- 
clasxing in rnanx' of its f(Mitures and value of its collections, like 
societies of a (jUivrler ct-ntury or more existence 

Two days after the editors adjourned the following " Cir-

At Vlicir aniuial incetiMK in tliis city, May 27. the editors of Okla-

The object in estahllsliiriK this departnent is the cctllect ion of

Historical Custodian,

Ofticial Recognition 

The first official recognition is contained in Governor Ren- 
frew's message to the legislature of 1895, which reads : 

" During May, 1893, the Oklahoma Editorial Association 
established a bureau known as the Historical Department of the 
Oklahoma Press Association. The special object of this bureau 
is the coUectiot) and preservation of newspapers and other pub- 
lications of the Territory, views, reports and general matter 
which may prove of information and historic interest. Mr. \\ . 
P. Campbell, the custodian, reports quite success I'ul results 
from the work thus inauguiated. He has now. practi'-ally, tiles 
of all Territorial puhlicatiiuis, including those which have been 
suspended or been merged. The importance of collecting and 
jjreserving inviolate this great source fi'om which the future 
history of Oklahoma may be read and written, is a subject 
which ought to demand the attention of the Legislature to 
secure the; permanency of such a bureau '' 

The next official recognition was through a concurrent 
resolution of the legislature of I89-") ordering a sufficient nuuilier 
ot public documents of the territory to enable the custodian to 
make exchange wit li the various states and territories for like 
documents, and under this resolution the documents for that 
year were furnislied. U|i lo this time, and subsequently until 
moved to Norman, the collection was furnished a room in the 
Kingfisher County court house through the kindness of .1. !>. 
Campl)ell, then register of deeds of that coun'y. hut now of 
Waukomis, and the work of uiaking the c-ollection and caring 
for it. including ex})enses. was met by the custodian. 
Trustee of the Teiritory. 

A meeting of the editors of the t(M-ritory had been called at 
Perrv for February 18. 189."). with a view of procuring a charter

the Upper House, l)ut Wefore it passed the Lower House the 
editorial meetint>- at Perry came ot!'. At this meetino- the col- 
lection was assiii'ned to tlie custodian and he was placed at liberty 
to take such action as deemed necessary under the premises. A 
com[)romise was thereafter etl'ected wherein' the collection was 
to he moved to Norman, and an appropriation ask^d with which 
to maintain it the next two \ ears, and the editors should for- 
ever have a eontrollinu' mend)ersl)i[j on the hoard. Under this 
comi)romise a hill passed l)oth houses of the leoislature and 
became a law. creatingf the Oklahoma Historical Society as the 
trustee f)f the T(M-ritoi-y, and carrying- \vitb it an appropriation

formed the neucles of the collection vvhich is now tlie prid*^ of 
the territoi'ies, and which is largvr and more valual)lein historic 
wealth than contained in i he collection of many of the states. 

The statute ci-catinu' the Society as trustee of the teri'itory 
was api)roved by (governor Ken f row February 21, 189.'^, and 
pro\ides that the Society shall be the trustee of the territory, 
w ith a board of dircH-tors to consist of as many members as the 
Society shall determine. The purposes of the Society are set 
forth substantially the same as those of the l*ress Association. 
One s(>cti()ii pro\ ides that the Society shall receive from the ter- 
i'itory a -ullicient numl»er of public documents of the territory 
as may be necessary to make exchano'e with other states and 
tei-ritories for like documents. The press is given control on 
tlif board of dii'cctors 

July loth, after the collection had Iteen moved to .Voi-man. 



8 OKLAUOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

Mr. Campbell retired as eustodian, succeeded by W. T. Little, 
who, as a member of the legislature, had Ijeen influential in 
securing the appropriation. Among the many valuable acces- 
sions during Mr. Little^s custodianship were documents per- 
taining to Cimarron Territoi;v. 

rioved to Oklahoma Ctty. 

The crowded condition of the LTniversit}' building at Norman 
made new quarters for the collection necessary ; ''and," quoting 
from the repoit of President .Mclvinlav, of the Societv for 
1901-2, "what w^as more important, the necessitv of tire proof 
rooms for the safe keeping of the rapidly incnnising collections 
of the society, l)ecame very apparent. This fact has been 
since emphasized by the burning of the entire plant of one of 
the greatest newspapers of the territory, with nil its l)ack tiles ; 
and had it not been for the Historical Society, which had these 
tiles in bound volumes, a very important history of Okl ihoma 
would have been irrevocably lost.'' (It mav be added that the 
removal of the CDllection was fortunate- as t le University bui'd- 
ing soon after burned with all its contents). 

The legislature of 1901 provided f >v the re noval of the col 
lection from the University at Norman. In accordance with 
this enactment the board, at its annuil meeting in .lune. 1901, 
authorized the executive committee \o accept an otfer made l)y 
the board of directors of the Carnegie Library building at Okla- 
homa City. In his report of 1901-2, President McKinlay says: 
'"This otter was tl)!it the Society should hiive t'le use of the 
entire upper floor, or 'stack room," of the lil)rary buildi-ig, 
\vi;h light, heat, and janitor service, all tor the nominal consid- 
eration of one dollar, for the time until the territory shall have 
a capital building ready for the collection, A contract to this 
cttect was duly executed by the proper othcers of both boards 
of directors in September, 190i.'' 

In accordance theiewith. on the tirst of January, 1902, the 
colltH'tion was moved to th^ (-arnegie Li!)rary building, in tire 
proof rooms, this being its present home. For the tirst eight 
months after the rem 'val Sidney Clarke ncted as custodian of 
the Society, nnd among the valual)le collections made during his 



OKLAHO.MA IIISTOKRAL M)C'IETV. 9 

term inav he mentioned all the ofiiciiil and print<d court docu- 
ments relating to the Greer County case, wliich carries from 
l)ack to the earliest known of that county until it bec;ime, by the 
hicrhest MUthoritv, a part of Oklahoma. On the retirement of 
Mr. Clarke, April 1, li>08, Mrs. Marion Rock, Carnejj-ie lil)ra- 
rian at Oklalioma City, was appointed custodian and served 
until June 1, I9U4, when after an absence of nine years from 
connection with the Society, W. P. Campbell was api-oiuted 
custodian, and is still serving' 

A general accession book has since been installed, wherein 
is kept a record of all general accessions — author, title, char- 
acter, donor, date of receipt, etc. An accession liook for news- 
papers was also installed, in which to keep a record of Jill publi- 
■ ations, when estal)lished, by whom, editor, dale of lirst co[iv' 
received, etc. A card system has also been installed wherebv 
each pul)lication has its individual card on which is entered the 
date of each issue as received, so that by a glance at the card 
any missing number may be ascertained. An account book and 
visitois' l)ook have likewise l)een installed. 

During the session ot" the recent legislature an estimate of 
the ne(^ds of the Society for the biennial period of 190.5-6 was 
furnished memlxi's of the legislature, and, although the appro- 
priation was made in bulk, it was based i.n this estimate — $2,(>0<> 
per au'iinn. In October of last year a circular letter was 
addressed to the candidates of the ditferent political parties in 
each of the counties in the territory asking tor photographs and 
data, that some day the annals of the territory might be written. 
Many responses have l)een received from these letters. Some 
progress has been made in clippings of various important events 
of the territories to be made into scrap books indexed for ready 
I'eference. 

During June of last year 28*2 volumes of publications were 
sent to the State Capital for binding, and these have been placed 
in the cal)inets. March Sth of the current year 2.5*2 volumes 
were sent to the Guthrie Lea<ler for binding, an aggregate of 
1698 bound publications, and later j)erhai)s one hundied more 
held for securi' g missing mmibers and back tiles. l>ack tiles

and parliul l)jick liles, aj^'j^Tcgatinu- 141. lia\e l)een secured, a 
detinite list being- of record here. 

Tlie stamp account, June 1, 19(>4, to June 1, 11)05, repre- 
sents \,S6'i:i letters sent out, copies of lists of which are here. 
The bulk of this correspondence related to the newspaper fea- 
ture of the collection, thouo-h many inquiries have come to the 
Society which had to be answered ; besides, correspondence has 
been opened with the aepartment at Washington, and with the 
principal historical societies of the country, resulting in a 
nmtual exchange valuable to the collection. 

In an effort to secure historical matter attention has been 
given to the Indian Territory equally with that given to Okla- 
homa, and the theory has been adopted that the time to secure 
data is as early as history forms. 

Cards were issued during the National Editorial Association 
meeting at Guthrie in June. 1905, askiny that a copy of each 
paper containing reference. to that meeting or the itinerary of 
the national editors in Oklahoma tmd the Indian Territoiy be 
sent the Oklahoma Historical Society, these to l)e l)ound in a 
souvenir volume. In response to these cards write-ups of edi- 
tors throughout the Union have been received, aggiegating 
hundreds of columns. Thus will be preserved, in an interesting 
way, a record of the greatest editorial event witnessed in the 
West.

OPENING OF OKLAHOMA. 



Paper submitted by Hon. Sidney Clarke at the annual 
meeting of the societ\^, June 2, 1905. 

The contents of this paper will be partly personal incidents 
connected with the opening of Oklahoma to settlement, and 
partly a reference to the first congressional legislature relating 
to the Territory. 

To write the complete history of the heroic struggle which 
covered a period of many years and which envoi ved so much of 
unselfishness, sacrifice and suffering on one hand, and craft and 
greed on the other, would fill a volume of a large proportions 
and be of transcendent interest. It would record the most ex- 
ceptional epoch in the history of American civilization, in the 
subjugation of a new continent and the founding of sovereign 
states. Told in all its details it would be a story intermixed 
with romance and tragedy, and would exemplify as never be- 
fore the resistless energy of the noblest band of American pio- 
neers that ever turned their faces toward the setting sun. If 
life and health remain I hope some time to write an impartial 
history of Oklahoma— of its early and later days— unless some 
one more competent than myself shall sooner undertake the 
work. 

The land over which Coronado marched and of which Hum- 
hodlt and Irving wrote, is soon to be the forty-sixth star in the 
gallaxy of states, unless the national congress still remains in- 
sensible to the demands of justice for fifteen hundred thousand 
citizens. For more than a decade there has been no good reason 
why statehood should not have been conferred upon us, and 
why we should not have enjoyed the priviliges and exercised 
the responsibilities of local self govei-nmcnt. 



OKLAHOMA UlSTOKICAL tiOClKTV. 19 

The tiist movement in conorcss for the e.stal)lishment of a 
territorial government here conmienced twentv-tive years be- 
fore it was finally accomplished. The Hon. Robert T. Van- 
Horn, of Missouri, then a meml)er of the house from the Kan- 
sas Citv district, introduced the first bill for the creation of the 
Territory of Oklahoma out of what was then known as the In- 
dian Territory. That was in the Thirty- ninth Congress. No 
action being taken it was again introduced by Mr. VanHorn in 
the Fourtieth Congress, referred to the committee on Indian 
affairs and favorabh^ reported, but failed to be considered for 
want of time. And still again in the Forty-first Congress, Mr. 
VanHorn presented his bill, more determined than ever to 
secure its consideration. I was at that time chairman of the 
committee on Indian affairs and Mr. VanHorn was a member of 
the committee. The bill was fully discussed by the committee 
and after delil)erate consideration of all its provisions, was again 
favoralj]}^ repotted to the house. I remember the deep interest 
Mr. VanHorn manifested in the bill and the conclusive reasons 
he presented why the legislation shoukl be had. I fully sympa- 
thized with him in his eai'ncst advocac}' of the measure, and con- 
tributed whatever influence I had as chairman of the conmiittee 
to secure its favorable consideration. I believed then as 1 have 
l)elieved in the years that followed, that there should be no part 
of our territorial domain that should be left without the protec- 
tion of Civil Governmant. 

No man in Congress was better (jualitied than Mr. Van 
Horn to champion the bill which he introduced. A statesman, 
thoroughly ideutihed with the interests of the great southwest, 
and an editor of conspicuous ability, he was comprehensive in 
information, alert in argument, and fore saw with prophetic 
vision the grand possibilities of the future of Oklahoma. 

When the bill was taken up for consideration in the house 
it was claimed by the committee on the territories, of which Mr. 
Shelby M. Cullum, of 111., now Senator from that state, was 
chairman, that under the rules it should be first considered by 
that committee. An extended debate followed both on the 
<juestion of the committef; and on the merits of the bill. Whih^ 



20 OKLAHOMA HISTOKICAL, SOCIETY. 

the committee on Indian affairs was at a technical disadvantage, 
its members and those who supported its action, strenuously 
contended that the necessity of the legislation was imperative, 
and was as necessary for the protection and prosperity of the 
Indians ot the five tribes as it was for the settlement and devel- 
opment of the country they occupied. Mr. VanHorn defended 
the bill with much spirit and answered all criticisms of its op- 
ponents in a most conclusive manner. Mr. Armstrong, of 
Pennsylvania, Mr. Sargent, of Californiu, Mr. CuUum of Illi- 
nois, Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, and other leading members of 
the House participated in the debate. 

It should be stated here that the Indians of the five tribes 
met in convention in September, 1870, as provided for by the 
treaty of 1866, and that on the sixth of December following, 
adopted a constitution or organic act for the Indian Territory. 
This act, which in substance established a Territorial govern- 
ment exclusive for the Indians, was approved by Mr. Delano, 
then Secretary of the Interior, in the following language: "My 
conviction is, that as this council has been held under the au- 
thority of law, and as it has resulted in a form of government 
adopted by the Indians themselves, it is best to try the experi- 
ment of this government. Congress reserving the full right to 
approve or disapprove of all legislation that may occur under 
it. Congress may also desire to alter or modify the constitu- 
tion which has been adopted." 

The Indian government thus provided for was never estab- 
lished, but it undoubtedly operated to prevent Congress from 
passing the bill reported by Mr Van Horn. 

Among the notable speeches in favor of the bill, I especially 
remember that of Mr. Voorhees. He argued that the constitu- 
tion adopted l)y the Indians was not in strict accordance with 
the treaties of 1866. He was known as exceedingly friendly 
to the Indians, but he did not think it wise to put them in full 
control of the proposed Territorial government. Among other 
things Mr. Voorhees said: 

"In my opinion something should be done. We should 
either go forward or backward. What shall we do^ Pass the 



UKLAllOMA IIISTOUICAL siUCIETV. 21 

hill now before us or ratify tlu' constitution of Okmuloee, or 
do nothing, and thus leave the territory in its present condi- 
tion. Under that coustitution the government of the United 
States would have no supervision whatever over the Indians of 
tiie Territory, and would have no responsibility except to make 
the necessary appropriations. The bill reported by the Indian 
committee provides for the appointment by the President of 
the officers of the Territory, while the Okmulgee constitution 
says they shall be elected. I believe the Indians should have a 
liberal representation in the offices of the Territory. Among 
the live civilized nations there are men of cultivation, refine- 
ment and talent, who would grace any position. If objection 
is made to incorporating these Indians more closely into the 
civil ati'airs of our orovernment I do not share it. There may 
be gentlemen upon the Hour, and upon my side of it, too, who 
would object to an Indian here as a delegate to look after the 
interests of his people. I would remind such that the time has 
been in the old and chivalrous days, when the proudest repre- 
sentative ever sent here from Virginia boasted in these halls 
that in his veins ran Indian blood. But there was no spirit of 
caste which ostracised John Randolf, of Roanoke. He trod 
this floor and the floor of the Senate with the lofty demeanor 
of an Indian prince asserting everywhere his aboriginal lineage 
and challenging and receiving social homage from all. Sir, I 
have no prejudice against the Indian. He is a native and pro- 
prietor of this land I know the people mentioned in this bill. 
I have been associated with them in business relations. 1 have 
met among them men who were as full of proper and patriotic 
spirit and as capable of legislating for the interests of their 
people as is any gentleman on this floor representing any con- 
tingency, I care not how reflned or exalted.'' 

This spirit of liberality toward the Indian pervaded all the 
discussion on both sides of the question. Finally the bill was 
refered to the Indian and the Territorial conmiittees for joint 
action and subsequently favorably reported back to the house 
by Mr. VauHorn. But this was late in February, and as the 
Congress expired on the Fourth of March, no further action 



22 OKLAHOMA IIISTOlilCAL SOCIETV. 

The name "OKLAHOMA" was famished by Col. E. C. 
Boudinot, one of the most prominent men in the Cherokee 
nation. He was an able law\ver and an accomplished gentleman, 
and stood almost alone, among- the Indians in advocating the 
opening of all the surplus lands in the Indian Territory to white 
settlement. He held that the lands west of the tive tribes were 
public lands and practically free from Indian title. It was said 
that Col. Boudinot inherited his liberal views from his father, 
who was assassinated in the Cherokee nation soon after the 
tribe moved west. The elder Boudinot opposed the exclusive 
policy, which at that time dominated the tribe and paid the 
penalty with his life. As a natural result his talented S(jn be- 
came a crusader of the progress of his tribe, and b}' his unyeild- 
ing persistence at home, at Washington and elsewhere in the 
country, labored to elevate his people to the same standard of 
civilization and citizenship enjoyed by the white race. .Pos- 
sessed of a legal mind, combined with a sentimental and poeti- 
cal temperament, fond of music and of art, he was a tine orator, 
a vigorous writer, and one of the most companional)le men I 
ever knew. He was well known by the public men of the coun- 
try and held a high place in the esteem of all. When Capt. 
David L. Payne commenced the movement to open Oklahoma 
to settlement, when Capt. W. L, Couch and myself went to 
Washington to labor for the necessary legislation. Col Boudi- 
not was always ready to lend a helping hand. His wide ac- 
quaintance and great ability were no unimportant factors in the 
long and strenuous controversy which ensued in the Forty- 
ninth amd Fiftieth Congress, and which resulted in the amend- 
ment to the Indian appropriation liill, uiuler which the first sel- 
tlenient was made here on the '2'2nd of April, 1S89, Col. Bou- 
dinot's death at Ft. Smith, while yet a young man, was re- 
ceived with profound regret wheiever he was known. 

From the close of the Forty-first. Congress up to the Forty- 
ninth Congress no sul)slanti!il progress was made in that l)ody 
looking to the opening of Oklahoma to settlement, and the 
creation of a Territorial government. The battle was trans- 
ferred from Washington to the west. The legions of Pavncv 



OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 2;{ 

and CoHt'h were formed to iin ado the Territoiy for honiesteud 
settlement, under the name of the Pa3'ne Oklahoma Colony. 
Not less than twenty thousand people composed the organiza- 
tion. J'hov belono-ed to all the professions and all the walks 
of life and all the states of the Union In the meantime 
the cattle sj'ndicates took possession of the country, and 
by the administration of Hayes aided and Cleveland, 
held it with tirm orasj). The army was stationed on 
the border to keep out the settlei's. Payne and Couch and 
others were repeatedl}' arrested. Couch was tried on the charge 
of treason before Judge Foster of the Kansas United States 
district court and promptly acquitted. Payne vainly sought to 
get into the courts so as to test the legal statutes of the land. 
But as often as he was arrested during his repeated invasions of 
the Territory, he was taken to Kansas or Arkansas and released 
without anv charge being made against hinL 

Early in 188-5 a general move to invade the Territory was 
planned and a large number of colonists assembled at Caldwell, 
Kansas and along the southern border of that state. Before 
the movement was made Paj^ne fell dead with heart disease, at 
Wellington, Kansas, and Couch assumed command of the col- 
ony. He had been a member since 1882. In the Oklahoma 
War Chief of July 8, 1885, edited hj Col. Samuel Croker, 
who was also an able and active leader in the movement, the 
following description of the new conuufinder appeared: 

'"Captain Couch is thirty-five years old, stands erect, five 
feet and ten inches high, weighs one hundred and sixty pounds, 
is of a fair ('omi)lexion, of light hair, bright blue eyes, wears a 
mustache, is the father of a family, and is of a very amiable 
disposition. His whole soul is wrapped up in the work to 
which he is so nobly devoted. In appearance he is a modest 
uniissuniing man, I'ather bashful and reserved though cono-enial 
and pleasant, with a fund of knowledge concerning the Okla- 
homa movement, cattle syndicates, land laws, and army indig- 
nities, and matters pertaining to the colony and the Indian Ter- 
ritory really remarkable. No manlier man ever stood at the 
head of so important an organization, possessing such extu'iitive 
ability, cool (lelil)erate judgment, intrepid l)raveiy and connio-p 
No man can helj) liking him, and all the old colonists Mould lav 
down their li\»'s for him." 



•J4 OKLAHOMA IIISXOKICAL SOCIETV. 

Captain Couch was fally worthy of this hig-h enconiuin. 
The 3'eai' 1885 was crowded with events important to the colon}-. 
Invasions of the Territory, frequent arrests, and a threatened 
Indian war with the Clieyennes and Arapahoes followed in rapid 
succession. The Chicago Tribune and Kansas City Times and 
other metropolitan journals espoused the settlers' cause. The 
l)attle was now fairly on and the country east and west was 
thoroughly aroused in the energy of the situation. I was em- 
ployed by the Chicago Tribune to go to Ft. Reno with General 
Shei-idan where a large number of tioops were concentrated, 
and send full dispatches to that paper relating to the Indian 
trouble, and especially in regard to the controversy between the 
cattle men and the intending settlers. This was m}^ first visit to 
the Territory. The Indians. were soon composed. I then trav- 
eled as far east as where Oklahoma now stands and then north 
to the Kansas line. I found that tias was a vast cattle pasture 
occupied by thousands of cattle owned by the powerful svndi- 
cate, that the}^ controlled the cattle business of the southwest. 
It had appeared at Ft. Reno that the cattle occupancy was the 
real cause of the Indian trouble and this was contirmed hy what 
1 subsequently discovered In extensive dispatches I told the 
true story in the Tribune, which was confirmed by other repre- 
sentatives of the piess. Gen. Sheridan's report to the President 
and the wide spread publicity of the true situation, angered the 
cattle men, but it aroused the people generally to the justice of 
the demands for the opening of the lands. 

On July 21, in 1885 Attorney-General Garland decided 
that the lessees of the Cherokee Strip, of the Cheyenne and 
Arapahoe reservation, and of the Kiowa and Comanche reserva- 
tion were illegal. On August T, President CMeveland issued his 
proclamation ordering that the cattle !)e taken out of the Chey- 
enne and Arapahoe reservation, but neglet'ted to enforce the 
opinion of Attorney -General so far as the rest of the Oklahoma, 
lands was concerned. 

From this time on it became evident that the administration 
was insincere, and that in spite of fretpient promises made by 
the Secretary of the Interior to Capt. Couch and myself, that

both the President and the .secretaiy wore upholding- the catUe 
syndicates. But there was no r-elaxation on the part of the col- 
onists. They knew they had friends in Congress and to them 
they determined to appeal. 

The tirst session of the new Cono-ress was met on the Hrst 
Monday in December, 1885 Gen. James Weaver, of Iowa, 
was a member of the house, and Chas. H. Van Wyck, of Ne- 
))raHka. was a Senator from that state. Both men were of con- 
s})icuous al)ility, fulh' conversant with the situation here, and 
the hou.se. and senate. Capt. Couch reached Lawrence the same 
day, and the followino- night was spent b}' us in drawing- a bill 
of twent3'-two .sections providing for a Territorial government 
for all the old Indian Territory, opening the surplus land to 
homestead settlement, detining the rights of the Indians, and 
.settling all controverted questions which were then pending. 
The bill was on its wav to Washington by the mail of the next 
day, and on its receipt by General U'eaver and Senator Van 
Wyck was promptly introduced by them, 

On the 2Sth of the following January, Capt. Couch and 
my.self proceeded to \N'ashington and took up the fight before 
the committee of both houses and never abandoned it until the 
\ictory was won. 

It would require a seperate chapter and much space to give 
in detail the history of the legislative ])attle which ensued. The 
bill was kept constantly at the front by its friends for more 
than three years nnd foutrht most determinedly by its oppo- 
nents. To the end of that Congress and uj) to its passage in the 
house by forty-tive majoi'ity the battle was of the most strenu- 
ous character. We enlisted the New York Herald in its behalf 
and many other great pupers in the eastern cities. After being 
i-eported l)y the house committee on the Territories it was 
known as the Springer bill and the principal change made beino- 
the eliminating of the ftVe tribes from its provision. 

To ( Jeneral Weaver more than to an}- other member the 
credit is due in securing its consideration and passage. The end 
of the session was approaching. Many measures of national 
importance were pending. The committee on rules oi)posed

the bill and refused to set a day for its consideration. We 
knew that a majority of the house was in its favor, but our ap- 
peals to the committee for action were in vain. At that time 
the Reed rules had not been adopted and dilator}^ motions could 
be indefinite!}^ made, the yeas and nays called, and all legisla- 
tion suspended until some agreement could be reached. Gen, 
Weaver stepped willingly into the breach and inaugurated a 
drastic fillibuster and continued for three days. Then came 
the surrender of the committee, a day was fixed, and the bill 
was triumphantly passed only to be defeated in the senate a few 
da3's later. 

But our friends in the house stood firm. The Indian appro- 
priation bill was not yet passed. It was determined at once to 
place an amendment on that bill, opening a portion of the land 
as an entering wedge for the Territorial government in the 
future. On the following night we held a meeting in the room 
of the committee on the Territories, at which Gen. Weaver and 
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, Mr. Peel, 
of Arkansas, Capt. Couch and myself and several other friends 
were present. Sections 12. 13, 14 and 15 of the act making 
appropriations for the current and contingent expenses of the 
Indian department for the year ending June 30, 1890, were 
hastily drawn, adopted by the houvse before morning as an 
amendment and sent to the senate, where the bill was referred 
to a conference committee. The amendment was resisted by 
the senates conferees for many hours, but was hnally accepted 
and became a law. 

Thus it was that the first step was taken in the new com- 
monwealth, which under the providence of God, is destined to 
be one of the greatest and grandest in the Federal Union. The 
struggle for statehood has been long and earnest. But it has 
not been as long nor as difficult as that which proceeded it, and 
of which Pavne and Couch were the heroic leaders. 



THE FREE HOMES BILL. 



At the annual nieeting- of the society, eJune 2, 1905, Hon. 
Dennis T, Flynn presented the following paper on incidents 
leading up to presentation of pens used in signing- the bill: 

When the hinds now embracing the Territory of Oklahoma 
were opened to homestead settlement the Government provided 
that it should be re-imbursed for the various sums paid the 
Indians for these lands, b}- the settlers who should make entry 
upon them: with the exception of Original Oklahoma, which 
was opened under the Free Homes Bill, and which was after- 
wards divided and comprised parts of the Counties of Logan, 
Oklahoma, Cleveland, Canadian, Kingfisher. Pavne and 
Beaver. 

In the fall of 1892, after a succession of droughts, and 
after the opening for homestead settlement of the Chevenne 
and Arapahoe, the Pottawatomie and the Iowa and Sac and 
Fox Lands, I was nominati^d for tlie first time by the Republi- 
can party on a platform demanding that the National Govern- 
ment allow settlers upon these lands to secure title to them free 
and without cost, after a residence of five years. The first 
Free Homes Bill introduced in the American Congress since 
1S62 was introduced by me in the fifty-third Congress. It was, 
after having been referred to the Interior Department bv the 
Committee on Public Lands, adversely reported by the then 
Secretary of the Interior, and also by the Connnittee on Pu))lic 
Lands of the House of Representatives. 

Innnediately following this the Cherokee Strip was opened 
to homestead setthMuent and divided into three districts, the 
settlers in the eastern district l)eing compelled to pay, in addi- 
tion to complying with the Homestead re(|uirenients. ^2.50 an 



2S TITi: FUEE IIO.MEs lULL. 

acre; in the central district $1.50 an acre; and in the western 
district $1.00 an acre; and about the same time, the Kiekapoo 
Reservation was also opened, the settlers being compelled to 
pay 11.50 an acre in addition to the homestead requirements 
in it. 

After the adverse reports of the Secretary of the Interior 
and the Committee on Public Lands in the lift} -third Congress, 
the Free Homestead Bill was again introduced by me in the 
lifty- fourth Congress, during which Congress the decision of 
the Supreme Court of the United States, making Greer Count}^ 
part of Oklahoma had been rendered, and the Free Homes Bill 
then pending was favorably reported by the Committee on 
Public Lands of the House, and was taken up for consideration 
by a special rule drawn by Speaker Reed, was amended on the 
floor of the House to make it apply to Greer County, and on 
March 16, 1895, passed the lower house of Congress with but 
very little opposition. It was amended when it went to the 
Senate, so as to make it apply to other states that had lands 
similarly situated, but failed to be enacted into law. An effort 
was made bv my successor, Mr. Callahan, in the fifty tifth Con- 
gress to again pass the bill which had passed the Senate, but it 
was defeated in the lower house. 

In the tifty-sixth Congress a conference of the various rep- 
resentatives from the States and Territories affected by the 
Free- Home agitation was held, and a general Free Homes Bill 
was introduced, passed the House of Representatives with l)ut 
litlle opposition, and passed the United States Senate by unani- 
mous consent. It was then transmitted to President McKinley 
for his appi-oval. and he referred it to Secretary E. A. Hitch- 
cock of the Interior Department for an opinion. 

One of the pens which I ha\ e presented to the Society is 
the pen with which Secretary Hitchcock siirned liis rt^port ad- 
vising President McKinley to sign the bill. 

On May 2<», U»00, Pn>sident McKinley attached his signa- 
ture to the Free Homes I>ill. in the presence of myself and a 
large gathering of people from Oklahomji. and the Senators 
and Representalives from the states that were affected by the 
leirislation. After signing the Bill. President McKinlev handed 



TUK FKI:K IIO.MKS I'.ILL. "Jii 

tlu^ pon with which he liiid siii^tn^d it to ine with his eomplimeiits, 
and that is one of the pens with which 1 have also presented 
the Society- 

The third })eii is the pen with which the then Speaker of 
the House of Representatives. David B. ilenderson, attached 
his sit^natiire to the enrolled Bill the day it was sent to the 
White House. 

The Bill which was signed with these pens by President 
^rcKinley cancelled an obligation on the part of the people of 
Oklahoma to the United States amounting to $1H. 000,000 on 
their homes, and a sum amounting to about $05,000,000 dtu^ 
from the settlers throughout the United States on the lands that 
this l)ill made free. 

I take it that these are substantially the facts \vhich you 
desire. Jt is impossible to describe or write the various anxious 
and disheartening hours that the homesteaders and their families 
enduied for the eight years that the Free Homes Agitation pre- 
vailed in this Territory. 

Having been the Delegate who Mas entrusted with the 
mission of securing free homes, and to whom all of these pens 
had been presented, I thought, after a great deal of delibera- 
tion, that they could best l)e preserved by the Historical So- 
ciety, and it w^as with sorrow, but with a sense of justice, that 
I have surrendered them to theii' keepimg. 

Yours truly, 

I). T. Flynn.
